Ankama Games will soon be releasing the Heroic Server, a new hardcore game mode, for the flash based Dofus MMORPG. Scheduled for launch this December, the new game mode will offer quicker character evolution, allowing players to gain more experience from fights and quests. Players will also need to be more vigilant and tactical because once dead a character can't be revived. The new mode will also call for more dedicated and concerted guild activity in order to help players survive for as long as possible.

In this highly intensive mode, the game has been adapted according to new rules which are exclusive to this server. Among other exciting modifications, this mode allows players to increase their level far more rapidly and to make better and bigger drops ! Experience in professions will also be gained more quickly. This server has one cruel rule above all, however: death will be permanent. You cannot come back to life. If your character’s level is in the top 100 , however, the corpse will rest in the Cemetery of Heroes .

Another diabolic hallmark of the server: whether players lose against monsters or other players, their victorious enemies will keep all their items. Some enemies, though difficult to beat, will be tempting to fight for just this reason.

In future, part of the official site will be dedicated to this server with regular updates giving information on the new world, including its background. This part of the site will also host the Cemetery of Heroes. Warriors of all nationalities will take each other on to rise to the top of the world league table.

To those who thought they’ve mastered DOFUS or seen it all, the Ankama Games team hereby challenges you!
